Blazing trails: Microquasars as head-tail sources and the seeding of magnetized plasma into the ISM
S. Heinz, H. J. Grimm, R. A. Sunyaev +1
We discuss the dynamics of microquasar jets in the interstellar medium, with specific focus on the effects of the X-ray binaries' space velocity with respect to the local Galactic…
A synthesis model for AGN evolution: supermassive black holes growth and feedback modes
Andrea Merloni, Sebastian Heinz
We present a comprehensive synthesis model for the AGN evolution and the growth of supermassive black holes in the Universe. We solve the continuity equation for SMBH mass function…
A deep Chandra observation of Abell 4059: a new face to radio-mode AGN feedback?
Christopher S. Reynolds, Elyse A. Casper, Sebastian Heinz
A deep Chandra observation of the cooling core cluster Abell 4059 (A4059) is presented. Previous studies have found two X-ray cavities in the central regions of A4059 together with…
Measuring the kinetic power of AGN in the radio mode
Andrea Merloni, Sebastian Heinz
(Abridged) We have studied the relationship among nuclear radio and X-ray power, Bondi rate and the kinetic luminosity of sub-Eddington active galactic nuclear (AGN) jets. Besides…
Evidence for a parsec scale X-ray jet from the accreting neutron star Circinus X-1
S. Heinz, N. S. Schulz, W. N. Brandt +1
We analyzed the zero-order image of a 50 ks Chandra gratings observation of Circinus X-1, taken in 2005 during the source's low-flux state. Circinus X-1 is an accreting neutron sta…
Shock heating by FR I radio sources in galaxy clusters
M. Brueggen, S. Heinz, E. Roediger +2
Feedback by active galactic nuclei (AGN) is frequently invoked to explain the cut-off of the galaxy luminosity function at the bright end and the absence of cooling flows in galaxy…
